Travel Insurance for Pregnancy

Travel insurance for soon to be mums.

  • Trusted by:

Pregnancy shouldn't be a reason to stop your next adventure. But with a new addition onboard, you do need travel insurance cover to look after yourself and your unborn child.  

What Travel Insurance will cover you for while pregnant

If you're traveling while pregnant, and you're suddenly ill or injured or you have an unexpected pregnancy complication (including an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage), all of our policies cover:

  • Emergency medical treatment
  • Hospitalisation
  • Ambulances
  • Transport to get you home for ongoing treatment (if medically required)
  • 24 hour/7 day multi-lingual assistance teams

This doesn’t include the time frame between 12 weeks before and 12 weeks after the estimated date of delivery.  It’s also a good idea to check with the airline before you pay for your ticket if they have any restrictions on carrying a pregnant person.

What we won’t cover

We won’t cover a number of circumstances including, but not limited to:

  • Having a pre-existing medical condition that results in complications.
  • Doing anything illegal.
  • Traveling against the advice of a medically qualified doctor.
  • Drugs or alcohol related injuries.
  • Deliberate self-injury or wilful exposure to exceptional risk.
  • Normal costs or losses associated with pregnancy or child birth.  This includes medical care such as your normal antenatal check ups and scans and the costs associated with giving birth.

This is not a full list of what's covered and what's not covered. There are limits and conditions that apply, so for more information check out our article on pregnancy and read your policy carefully before you buy.

How to get assistance if you're sick or injured while pregnant. 

It’s essential that you get in contact with our emergency assistance teams as soon as possible so that you can be supported from the time you fall sick or get injured until the time you get home.

So that our Emergency Assistance teams can assist you quickly, please be ready with the following:

  • Your policy number
  • A contact number for where you are now
  • The nature of your problem
  • Your location

Unable to travel.

I was 8 weeks pregnant but two days before I was due to travel, I had to go the hospital for an emergency scan because I had some bleeding. I was told that the baby's heart had stopped beating. The doctors told me that I have to wait until it comes out naturally, which could happen anytime in the next 14 days, so therefore they told me I cannot travel for health risks.
